'Blood Game 2' PD The difference between winning and losing is 'information asymmetry'

Producer Hyeon Jeong-wan revealed the point of directing 'Bloody Game 2' by enhancing the fun of 'information imbalance' among survival participants.

On the 31st, at the Post Tower in Yeouido-dong, Seoul, I met PD Hyun Jeong-wan, who directed Wave's original variety show 'Game of Blood 2'.

'Blood Game 2' is a survival survival entertainment show in which the physically strongest players decide whether to 'hunt or be hunted'. Hong Jin-ho, Ha Seung-jin, Fujii Mina, Park Ji-min, Hyun Seong-joo, Nux, Yurisa, Yunbi, Seo Exit, Pi, Kerrigan May, Dex, Lee Jin-hyung, and Shin Hyun-ji participated as players.

Regarding 'Game of Blood 2', which is well-received by viewers, PD Hyun Jeong-wan said, "It's difficult to predict when making a program, but there are times when the trailer comes out and you get a feeling. Looking at the number of views and comments, there was something like, 'This will be popular.'" said.

It immerses viewers more than Season 1 with a larger scale, more elaborate game composition, and results that exceed expectations. PD Hyeon Jeong-wan explained, “When season 2 is done, the scale should be expanded from season 1, or if season 1 had a vertical structure, season 2 should be changed to a horizontal structure.” "The more comfortable or lower you are, the more you don't know the information. The first floor has an advantage in the number of players because there are 6 people, while the second floor has a disadvantage in terms of the number of players because there are 4 people, but there is a hidden room or you can hear the sound of the 1st floor. There is another advantage of doing it. The environment is difficult outdoors, but you can get more information. It gives information asymmetry."

A survival story set in Bali, Indonesia. Regarding the location, PD Hyun Jeong-wan said, "At first, it was the Philippines. I found a mansion and was about to sign a contract. It's a place as unique as the location where we filmed. But somehow the contract got messed up. But I went to Bali. This was also one of the original candidates. We The main writer of the program knows the person who did 'Law of the Jungle' and all kinds of backcountry. There was another place in Indonesia as a candidate, and I thought this is the place where we can tell the story we prepared a little better." said.

According to the TV-OTT integrated non-drama topicality index for the 3rd week of May announced by Good Data Corporation, the ranking of 'Blood Game 2' rose one notch from last week, rising from 2nd to 1st. In addition, it is setting a new record for all-time wave original entertainment by maintaining the No. 1 position in new paid subscription content in Wave.
